[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the poster is trying to convince people to not have their kids tryout so their kid make it.

If your are paying much you need to discuss why with the AD.  Also if you are, it is costs not associated with the school team.

We had 2 kids playing multiple sports a years and any additional expense was always a choice such as a jacket or personalizing a jersey with a name.  [/quote]

I think OP is very misleading here. There is no longer even an activity fee. Kids have to get a physical and there are some things like shoes. But for the most part the school provides what a kid needs. Some sports have suggestions of things you might want to get like a team bag and different colored shirts for practice. But these are not mandatory. Also many of us parents pay for our kids plus one or two so kids who might not otherwise be able to get a team jacket can.

No parent should hold back their child from sports due to the cost. The costs are minimal and the county is committed to making sports available to all students. If OP spent more than $800 it was only because she wanted to not because she had to. [/quote]
